All schools up to eighth standard have been closed in the Uttar Pradesh capital till January 10, owing to extreme cold wave condition, an official said on Friday.

The decision was communicated to the management of all schools, he added. At many schools the winter vacations was extended.

Meanwhile, the MET office has warned of harsher weather till Sunday.

According to the regional MET office Director J.P. Gupta, the western disturbance in Jammu and Kashmir would play out in UP as well, and lead to considerable drop in the mercury.

Drizzle to moderate rains were predicted for Lucknow and neighbouring areas. The maximum temperature on Thursday remained at 22 degrees Celsius while the minimum was recorded at 8.2 degrees Celsius.

The humidity recorded was 100 per cent leading to the increase in winter chill, the MET office said.
